Following her veterinary graduate studies and a PhD in science, Rebeka Lucijana Berčič conducted research on bacterial and viral diseases across several European universities. She later founded a private research institute dedicated to reintroducing sericulture and silk production in Slovenia based on the principles of aesthetics, sustainability, and the inclusive philosophy of the New European Bauhaus, as well as the values, people-centric approach, and clear objectives of Industry 5.0. When designing working conditions, she imagines her four children as part of the production chain. Together with her scientist husband, she also maintains an extensive home library. Her achievements are documented in the COBISS/SICRIS bibliographic databases.
